Hm...I've been cosplaying since 1998 when I made a very cheesy sailor Jupiter costume, then I got into more complex costumes, but I still didn't know anything about anime conventions. I went to my first con, AFO2 and had a decent time, and I started going to more local cons, and six years later, here I am! For the time being, I have taken retirement from the cosplay scene, but who knows, I might be back again.
